[quote=Anonymous]Some things that helped our very shy child (now in 7th grade): - working on the tech crew for the school play each spring. We worked hard to get him to sign up but it's been great for him. He hasn't made any "best friends" through it but obviously like doing it with the dozen or so other tech crew kids. - Scouting -- again, a ready group of kids to do stuff with - Church youth group. Don't call it Sunday school. Like scouts and school play, it's a group of kids who the child gets to know. The occasional weekend trips are great bonding experiences. Sports are great for self confidence -- if you are avoiding team sports, try tennis, squash, crew, running. Our DC didn't like team sports either. One summer we got a private coach for a couple weeks which vastly improved DC's ability and confidence, and voila -- DC liked DC's one team sport much more because DC was so much better at it.[/quote]
